We Can Take On All Accusations of Probation Violations
Probation violations typically come in a couple of forms. Of course, there are the technical violations. These include failing to report to your probation officer or testing positive in your drug test.
Other accusations of probation violations are also accusations of new crimes. If you have been arrested for doing something else illegal, not only do you run the risk of a whole new set of penalties, you also run the risk of having to deal with the penalties that you could have gotten the first time you were convicted.
Our lawyers know what to do in any probation violation situation. We know how to stand by your side to get you through this.
How We Defend You
When you face accusations of a probation violation, you will have to go to court for an order to show cause (OSC). Essentially, you will stand in front of a judge to provide a reason for the judge not to revoke your probation.
We will stand beside you in this process. Our attorneys will work to demonstrate that there was no probation violation. If there was a probation violation, we will work to help you avoid penalties. We will file a motion to revoke probation and reinstate it.
Our lawyers will also stand beside you to handle any other criminal charges you may be facing, charges that caused the probation violation. We will pursue positive results for you.
